Veracruz Style Steelhead or Salmon

Veracruz-style steelhead trout's mild butteriness combines beautifully with this
tart, slightly sweet and spicy sauce. Magical ingredients like pickled Jalapeños
and green olives flavor the fish and combine with tomatoes for a beautiful color
pop. Great for company!

Instructions

1 Heat oil in ovenproof skillet and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2 Add onion and saute until onion turns slightly yellow, 4-5 minutes.
3 Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
4 Add the tomatoes and simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Use a potato masher to
partly puree the tomatoes and the onions.
5 Stir in the olives, pickled jalapeños, capers, broth and seasonings except for
the parsley. If you want extra sauce, add the reserved juice from the tomatoes.
Simmer for another 5 minutes.
6 Place the trout fillets into the sauce and let them simmer for about 5 minutes
until done on the bottom.
7 Gently turn the fillets, spooning sauce on top. Place in the preheated oven for
5-10 minutes more until the fillets are as done as you prefer. At high altitude,
you may wish to cover the skillet to be sure the fish is done.
8 When the fish is cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the oven, transfer
the fish to a plate, spoon extra sauce over the top, sprinkle the parsley on,
and serve.
